With Americans starting 2019 off with over $1 trillion in credit-card debt and projected to have a net increase of $70 billion this year, the personal-finance website WalletHub today released its report on States with the Highest & Lowest Credit Card Debts as well as accompanying videos. The site’s researchers drew upon data from TransUnion, the Federal Reserve, the U.S. Census Bureau and WalletHub’s proprietary credit card payoff calculator to determine the cost and time required to repay the median credit card balance in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Below, you can find a handful of highlights from the report.

Sutherland Institute announces 2019 Congressional Series will begin with Rep. Chris Stewart
SALT LAKE CITY—Today Rick B. Larsen, president and CEO of Sutherland Institute, announced the organization’s 2019 Congressional Series, presented by Zions Bank. The Series will begin with Rep. Chris Stewart discussing free enterprise and socialism. Event details are listed below.
The event is open to the public with advance ticket registration and will be streamed live on Sutherland’s Facebook page. It is also open to media who RSVP in advance to kelsey@sifreedom.org.
Following Stewart’s remarks, a panel will discuss the concepts of free enterprise and socialism and which direction America is headed. Panelists include Romina Boccia, director for the Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget at The Heritage Foundation; Utah House of Representatives Minority Leader Brian King; and Natalie Gochnour, associate dean of the David Eccles School of Business and director of the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute. More details can be found here.
“Socialism is a folly,” Stewart said. “Not only is it doomed to fail whenever it rears its head, it leaves a wake of destruction in lives and freedoms lost. …So much time has passed from the fall of the Iron Curtain that many have internalized – or never experienced – socialism’s ultimate price. If we fail to recall those dangerous times, the primitive appeal of socialism will advance and infect our institutions.”
“Sutherland’s Congressional Series offers insight into the priorities, focus, and areas of expertise of those we elect to serve,” Larsen said. “This deeper dive into policy is only possible in a format that allows for in-depth exploration.
“Unlike town halls or debates, this series allows for real conversation around key issues and concerns like socialism’s growing popularity. Through keynote addresses from our elected officials followed by panel discussions with policy experts, Utahns are able to gain a greater understanding of critical issues and proposed solutions. We look forward to hearing from Congressman Stewart on July 30.”
